Brand Videography FAQs

How long does video production take?

Typical timelines range from 3-10 weeks depending on complexity and scope. Simple testimonial videos generally complete in 3-4 weeks from kickoff to final delivery. Explainer videos with animation elements require 4-6 weeks to allow for illustration and motion graphics work. Corporate or commercial videos typically take 4-8 weeks depending on the number of shooting locations and interview subjects involved. Comprehensive video packages involving multiple video types from a single production may require 6-12 weeks. We establish clear timelines during the discovery phase and communicate proactively throughout the project.

What if I’m uncomfortable on camera?

Most people feel camera-shy initially, and we specialize in putting subjects at ease. Our directors provide on-camera coaching with simple prompts and conversational techniques rather than scripts to memorize. We create a relaxed atmosphere on set and give you time to warm up before capturing final takes. During post-production, our editors select the strongest moments and ensure you sound confident and natural rather than rehearsed. Clients are consistently surprised at how comfortable the experience feels and how polished they appear in the final video. We’ve never had a client who couldn’t deliver great on-camera content with proper support.

Can one shoot produce multiple video assets?

Absolutely, and we strongly recommend this approach for maximum ROI on your production investment. We plan shoots strategically to deliver multiple deliverables from single sessions. A typical testimonial shoot, for example, can produce the main testimonial edit, short social media cuts, vertical versions for Stories and Reels, quote graphics, and video ad versions. A corporate video shoot can yield a company overview, individual team member profiles, b-roll packages, and social content. This approach provides significant cost efficiency compared to scheduling separate productions for each asset type.

What equipment do you use?

Our professional crew uses cinema-quality cameras capable of 4K resolution and above, including RED, Sony, and Blackmagic systems depending on project requirements. We bring professional lighting packages including LED panels, softboxes, and grip equipment for controlled environments and run-and-gun situations. Audio capture uses broadcast-quality lavalier and shotgun microphones with professional recording equipment. We use gimbal stabilization systems for smooth movement and aerial drones operated by FAA-licensed pilots for overhead footage. Post-production employs industry-standard software including Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and After Effects for editing, color grading, and motion graphics.

Do you provide scriptwriting and creative direction?

Yes, comprehensive creative services are included in our pre-production phase. We develop concept direction, write scripts or talking points depending on video type, create storyboards for complex productions, and provide creative direction throughout the process. For testimonial and interview-based videos, we develop question guides designed to elicit authentic, compelling responses rather than word-for-word scripts. For commercials and explainers, we write full scripts with voiceover and visual direction. We can also work from your existing materials if you have scripts or concepts already developed.

What formats do you deliver?

We deliver video in all formats you need, optimized for each specific use case. Standard deliverables include high-resolution master files for archival purposes, web-optimized versions for website embedding, and platform-specific exports for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Each platform has different aspect ratio requirements, length recommendations, and technical specifications. We handle all formatting so you receive ready-to-upload files for every distribution channel. We also provide thumbnail images, caption files (SRT format), and any supporting assets included in your project scope.

Can you help with video strategy and distribution?

Yes, strategy is foundational to our approach rather than an add-on. During discovery, we help you identify which video types will deliver the strongest results for your specific goals and audience. We develop content strategies that create sustainable video programs rather than one-off projects. Beyond production, we advise on distribution best practices, video SEO optimization, paid promotion strategies, and measurement frameworks. We help you understand how to maximize the reach and impact of every video we create together. Our goal is ensuring your video investment generates measurable business results.

How much does video production cost?

Video production investment varies significantly based on scope, complexity, and deliverables required. Simple testimonial videos typically range from $3,000-$7,000. Explainer videos with animation range from $5,000-$15,000 depending on length and animation complexity. Corporate videos and commercials range from $7,500-$25,000+ depending on production requirements. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific needs during the discovery consultation. When evaluating cost, consider the ongoing value of video assets that can be used across channels for years. We’re transparent about pricing and help you prioritize within your budget to maximize impact.

Do we own the videos? What can we use them for?

Yes, our standard agreements grant you full ownership and perpetual usage rights for all delivered video content across any marketing and business purpose. You can use the videos on your website, social media, advertising campaigns, sales presentations, trade shows, internal communications, and any other business application indefinitely without additional licensing fees. We retain the right to use clips for portfolio and promotional purposes, which is standard industry practice and doesn’t limit your usage in any way. If you have specific requirements regarding exclusivity or usage restrictions, we can discuss custom arrangements.

What’s the revision process?

Our standard packages include two rounds of revisions on each deliverable. After completing the initial edit, we present a draft for your review and collect consolidated feedback. We implement requested changes and deliver a revised version. A second round captures any remaining adjustments before final delivery. Additional revision rounds beyond the standard two are available at hourly rates if needed. We find that thorough pre-production planning and clear creative briefs minimize revision needs, and most projects complete comfortably within the included rounds. We’re committed to your satisfaction with the final product.
